Mr Wilson,whose constituency includes Woodley and Earley in Wokingham borough, said: “There already exist robust rules on MPs’ interests and their declaration, which are published on a regular basis and accessible to constituents. There is no need for further details to be published, nor to abandon individual taxpayer confidentiality.”

However Reading West MP Alok Sharma said: “If it becomes a requirement for serving politicians, parliamentarians or councillors, to publish their tax return of course I will.

“But frankly, as Jeremy Corbyn has suggested, if this were to become a requirement, it should also extend to journalists.

“And whilst we are about it, let’s have a national debate about whether, as in Sweden, everyone in the country should have to publish their tax return.”
